ion, of pendent pocket attachments to the.

cushion, which afford convenient means for the compact stowage of various toilet arti cles, that are indispensable for the cleanliness and comfort of an infant that is carried a distance in the vehicle having the improvement.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as is hereinafter described and defined in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal, sectional, side view of the improvement, arranged'for service in a vehicle, not shown; Fig. 2 is a reversed plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view, substantially on the line 33 in Fig. 2.

As shown clearly in Fig. 1, 4 re resents a pad or cushion for the seat of a c ilds carriage, faced on the upper side with waterproof materiala. From the rear end of the pad 4, tapes I) are extended for fastening said end to the back bars of the vehicle so as to retain it in place. From the front end of the pad 4, the casing thereof is extended and formed into a pocket or receptacle 5 for the lower limbs of a child that is seated or reclines on the ad or cushion 4, free entrance into said poc et being afl'orded by an openilrig c therein at its upper end, as shown in Attached by one transverse edge d thereof upon the upper edge of the pocket 5, is a cover 6, that in service is placed over the child, and at each side is tucked beneath its body and thus held in place; this cover may be of any suitable material. U on the upper side of the material forming t e pocket 5,

two pockets 7, 8, are formed, one imposed upon the other, and their open ends which are u permost, are closed by spring catches 6. Tile pocket 7 may be utilized for holding unsoiled diapers, and the ocket 8 may receive soiled ones, said poc et 8 being either formed of waterproof material or faced inside thereof with such material as indicated at g in Fig. 1.

Upon the lower side of the pocket 5, along each side edge thereof, a ocket is formed, open at its upper end, sai pockets 9, 9, affording receptacles for a nursing bottle to be placed in one pocket and liquid food held in a bottle in the other pocket, these essentials being for the nourishment of the infant that occupies the vehicle hereinbefore mentioned. Upon the same side of the pocket 5, with the pockets 9, a flap 10 is secured by one end thereon, this flap affording convenient means for holding safety pins, that are necessary for securing a diaper or other article of clothing upon the infant.

Upon the cover 6 and top face of the pocket 5, a robe or blanket 11 is spread and secured near its longitudinal center, as indicated at h in Fig. 1, said robe or blanket being of suflicient dimensions to adapt it for completely covering the infant when the latter is laced in a vehicle for open air exercise; anc to secure the robe in place ribbons i or the like are secured by an end of each one upon the upper edge of the robe, to be tied upon the carriage body at any convenient oint.

It will be seen that the novel association of toilet essentials with a cushion and robe, as is hereinbefore described and shown in the drawings, provides a very convenient device that when not in use may be compactly folded, and when in service, afford indispensable articles for the sanitary cleanliness, comfort and nourishment of an infant when it is enjoying open air exercise.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In combination, a cushion, a main pocket at one end of the cushion, auxiliary pockets on the u per side of the main pocket, and a robe or tie like secured on the main pocket and covering the auxiliary pockets thereon.

, 2. In combination, a cushion, a main thereon, and a robe spread over and secured l0 pocket extended at one end of said cushion upon the pocket and cover. and open at said end, auxiliary ockets on In testimony whereof I have signed my two sides of the main ocket, an a flap for name to this specification in the presence of 5 holding pins, on one si e of the main pocket. two subscribing Witnesses.
